Summer Scene At UNC-C
City Water Comes
A spectacular “wedding” high
lighted the summer activities here
on campus.
Bill Billups performs the “wetting” ceremony for Mecklenburg (Dwayne
Spitzer) and Charlotte (Earleen Mabry) as Father Haus and Bridesmaids
Gerry and Cathy Ledford look reverently on.
In order to publicize city-county
cooperation in bringing city water
to our campus, a “wetting” cere
mony was performed on campus.
Student Bo^ Vice-President Bill
BiUups, posing as the parson, join
ed together Charlotte (Earleen Ma-
bry) and Mecklenburg (Dwayne
Spitzer). Charlotte was given in
marriage by her “papa”, Mr.
Lauren Haus. In the “wetting”
party were bridesmaids Gerry and
Cathy Ledford. At a reception
following the ceremony, the couple
was presented with useful
“wetting” gifts — a pipe wrench
and a plumber’s friend! The cere
mony was attended by many dig
nitaries — amongthem Chancellor
Colvard, Mayor Stan R. Brook
shire, and Mr. James Martin,
Chairman of County Commis
sioners. All three made short,
informal speeches prior to the
ceremony.
On campus to bring a message
concerning the University’s func
tion of producing new leaders was
the Honorable Charles R. Jonas.
He laughingly called his address
a “non-political speech.”
Bill Curry, of WSOC-TV, spoke
to a small gathering of students
and faculty members on the var
ious problems involved in getting
really big intercollegiate sports on
our campus. Many of the barriers
Mr. Curry mentioned seem re
movable only by growth and the
passage of time—even though, as
he says himself, he is more en
thusiastic and anxious to have such
a program on campus than we are.
Mr. Curry, as always, entertained
as well as informed—and he is
very good at both.

Even though the “wedding” is mock, the bride
groom seems to have some reservations about
this important step!!
The “wetting” was complete with appropriate
gifts for the newlyweds-a plumber’s friend for
the bride and a pipe wrench for her groom.
Tuesday Nights with Dr. and Mrs. McEniry became a sure way to
spend enjoyable and informative Tuesday nights in exciting and
controversial conversation with fellow students and friends and
faculty members.
